i just discovered that one of my music folder (3GB) has been deleted without my knowledge, i dont remember i delete that folder, it could have been deleted by me by accidental when i half awake or some other music player progs deleted it.

there are many shareware out there that can protect or hide a folder or files with password, but the users have to enter the password each time, this is too troublesome, it would be great if there is a simple prog that deny delete to a folder or files, this will prevent accidental deletion.

thank you.

If you find a good solution and become attached to it, the solution may become your next problem.~Robert Anthony

Each line of the config file should contain a file to lock, click Re-Lock and you're done. It locks all files when it loads too, it doesn't need to be installed so you can run the exe and config file from anywhere. It's only 10KB big, and shouldn't have any problems loading huge files... Have fun

EDIT: Yay, it now supports directories, example:

DIR:C:\My musicC:\important file.txt

Would lock all files in C:\My music\ and C:\important file.txt

It's not a bug, it's an undocumented and unexplainable feature.Stick it on your site:

can i ask for this please? the link no longer works...please please....??

Ah! You mean actually revoke delete permissions to the folder- I didn't think of that. I did indeed think you were referring to the read-only file attribute.

Of course the delete permission can be re-applied if you have the rights to do so... but that's not something normal applications attempt to do when they want to delete a file, hence "I suspect this solution is good enough".
